Manchester City secured their long-awaited Champions League victory with a 1-0 win over Inter Milan in a tense final.

The decisive goal came from Rodri, who struck in the second half after a pass from Bernardo Silva.

Despite facing disruptions and losing Kevin De Bruyne to injury, City maintained their composure and outperformed their opponents, who had exceeded expectations by reaching the final.

This triumph completes an impressive treble for Pep Guardiola’s side, having already clinched the Premier League title and the FA Cup.

Manchester City’s success marks the first time since 1999 that an English club has achieved such a treble.

The match was witnessed by owner Sheikh Mansour, who rarely attends games.

Guardiola joins an esteemed group of coaches who have won the Champions League three times. While Inter Milan had aspired to win their fourth title, City ultimately emerged victorious.
